Summary

Join us for a training session on “Empowering Cities for the Just Transition: Frameworks for Policy Design and Evaluation.” This dynamic workshop is designed for urban practitioners, policymakers, and engaged citizens working to build more resilient, inclusive, and climate-neutral cities. Participants will dive into innovative frameworks and hands-on tools, including the UP2030 5UP framework for climate action, the newly updated City Resilience Framework (CRF), and TU Delft’s cutting-edge Spatial Justice Package. Through collaborative exercises and discussions, you’ll learn to diagnose urban disparities, assess justice-readiness, and explore strategic planning approaches that prioritise equity and sustainability. Walk away with practical resources and fresh insights to drive just urban transformation in your own communities.

Objectives

The key learning objectives of the training event are:
1. Understand Core Frameworks for Urban Justice and Resilience: Gain a foundational understanding of the UP2030 5UP framework, the updated City Resilience Framework (CRF), and the Spatial Justice Package, focusing on their roles in fostering climate-neutral and equitable cities.
2. Identify and Address Urban Disparities: Learn to use the Spatial Justice Benchmarking Tool to evaluate inequalities within urban planning, targeting areas for improvement across distributive, procedural, and recognition dimensions of justice.
3. Apply Justice Readiness and Resilience Models: Develop skills in assessing and tracking a city’s justice-readiness using the Justice Readiness Level (JRL) model and apply resilience-building strategies to support holistic, city-wide transformation.
4. Engage in Strategic Planning for Inclusive Urban Development: Explore the practical steps of the strategic planning cycle and develop approaches to integrate spatial justice and resilience tools into urban planning and policy design.
5. Translate Concepts into Actionable Insights: Leave with practical tools, handouts, and insights that can be directly applied to support climate action, resilience, and inclusivity in participants’ cities and communities.
